00:00:15,509 --> 00:00:13,599
outside of flagstaff arizona with the

3
00:00:17,910 --> 00:00:15,519
desert research and technology studies

4
00:00:19,750 --> 00:00:17,920
team with nasa we have a lot of amazing

5
00:00:22,070 --> 00:00:19,760
stuff going on that's leading to the

6
00:00:24,230 --> 00:00:22,080
future of exploration as nasa goes back

7
00:00:26,310 --> 00:00:24,240
to the moon and on to mars now let's

8
00:00:29,349 --> 00:00:26,320
check out what's happening behind me

9
00:00:32,150 --> 00:00:29,359
hey mj what's going on

10
00:00:34,709 --> 00:00:32,160
hey heather so i'm just here trying to

11
00:00:36,630 --> 00:00:34,719
retrofit these um this reinforcement

12
00:00:38,709 --> 00:00:36,640
basically in the containers and what

13
00:00:41,350 --> 00:00:38,719
you're seeing here is us trying to

14
00:00:42,630 --> 00:00:41,360
convert basically think of your luggage

15
00:00:44,549 --> 00:00:42,640
that you travel with we're trying to

16
00:00:46,549 --> 00:00:44,559
convert it into drawers for you so how

17
00:00:47,990 --> 00:00:46,559
cool would that be that would be awesome

18
00:00:49,750 --> 00:00:48,000
i could have actually used that on my

19
00:00:52,069 --> 00:00:49,760
trip here in fact so tell me a little

20
00:00:53,590 --> 00:00:52,079
bit about the structure here so this is

21
00:00:55,670 --> 00:00:53,600
basically a

22
00:00:56,549 --> 00:00:55,680
mock-up that we are doing for the geo

23
00:00:58,069 --> 00:00:56,559
lab

24
00:01:00,790 --> 00:00:58,079
basically we're going to have geologists

25
00:01:02,709 --> 00:01:00,800
here trying to test rocks and samples of

26
00:01:04,469 --> 00:01:02,719
that nature so this is what we're trying

27
00:01:07,030 --> 00:01:04,479
to fit right now and

28
00:01:08,789 --> 00:01:07,040
soon enough this is going to be a full

29
00:01:10,710 --> 00:01:08,799
operating fully operating

30
00:01:13,030 --> 00:01:10,720
laboratory that's great i can't wait to

31
00:01:15,030 --> 00:01:13,040
see that well i hear you're a student

32
00:01:16,789 --> 00:01:15,040
yes i am i'm a graduate student at amber

33
00:01:18,630 --> 00:01:16,799
riddle awesome well how did you get so

34
00:01:21,270 --> 00:01:18,640
lucky to come out here i started

35
00:01:23,429 --> 00:01:21,280
co-oping at ksc the kennedy space center

36
00:01:25,350 --> 00:01:23,439
about three years ago so this is my

37
00:01:27,510 --> 00:01:25,360
fourth rotation and i was fortunate

38
00:01:30,149 --> 00:01:27,520
enough to meet dr howard and asked if i

39
00:01:32,630 --> 00:01:30,159
could come so here i am do you feel like

40
00:01:34,310 --> 00:01:32,640
lucky i mean oh super lucky i'm the

41
00:01:36,230 --> 00:01:34,320
coolest person on the block right now

42
00:01:37,910 --> 00:01:36,240
nice so what are you studying systems

43
00:01:40,390 --> 00:01:37,920
engineering i did my undergrad as a

44
00:01:42,469 --> 00:01:40,400
human factors major and now i'm doing my

45
00:01:44,469 --> 00:01:42,479
graduate studies as a systems engineer

46
00:01:47,590 --> 00:01:44,479
so how does being a systems engineer and

47
00:01:49,030 --> 00:01:47,600
a human factors person fit into this

48
00:01:51,429 --> 00:01:49,040
basically i'm trying to fit the

49
00:01:53,030 --> 00:01:51,439
technology to the human instead of the

50
00:01:54,550 --> 00:01:53,040
other way around so we're trying to make

51
00:01:56,310 --> 00:01:54,560
sure that the astronauts and all the

52
00:01:57,670 --> 00:01:56,320
people we're sending to the moon are

53
00:01:59,830 --> 00:01:57,680
going to be comfortable working in this

54
00:02:01,109 --> 00:01:59,840
environment very cool well mj good luck

55
00:02:03,190 --> 00:02:01,119
with everything thank you can't wait to

56
00:02:04,630 --> 00:02:03,200
see you guys in action yes thank you
